My Latest

Let me introduce the latest member to the family.
I must say I'm impressed with the comfort and "stealth" of this one.
My Black Dial Explorer II

Congrats on buying the ultimate Rolex. You have exquisite taste in watches sir! The black ExpII is not only a great tool watch, but is also great with a suit or tux.

Enjoy. Today mine is on a strap...

Great watch, Mike, and great pics.

Contrary to what John thinks, the EXP II is not the ultimate Rolex but it is second to the ultimate. So it's in good company.

How 'bout this compromise: The black ExpII is the ultimate fixed-bezel Rolex.

Excellent compromise. I can get behind that one.

See Ed, with my negotiating skills combined with my PR background, I'd make an excellent addition to your firm. Since I work with lawyers on legal issues, it's a perfect fit. How's about it?

Now, if we can just get Ed to realize that the RED/BLACK bezel is the ultimate rotating bezel Rolex we will be making real progress.

How should I put this:

When Hell freezes over. . . .
When the Sun starts to rise in the West and set in the East (except in Panama). . . .
When the mountain comes to Mohammad. . . .
When JJ keeps a watch for more than 6 months . . . .

Are you starting to get the picture, CJ.

As a matter of fact, John, we're looking for a PR person to add to our marketing department. Any interest?

You're not being very open minded Ed.

My mind is wide open to rational thinking and discussion. I have no patience with irrational thinking (and thinking Red/Black is best is completely irrational).

C'mon Ed, you're half way there. One little splash of red half way around the bezel and you'll be a new man. Come on bro, walk toward the light, the red light that is.

Mike you have a bigger family (of watches) than the Royal family.

Congrats my man and you are right, that is the most comfortable Rolex I have ever worn.
